Greetings all,

Am I the only one who has problems at time seeing the mouse cursor? The other night I was in the heat of battle in a sand dune area. During the heat of battle, after one critter was killed, I tried to click on one of the other critters to start attacking. However, I could not find my brown mouse on the brown sand dunes.

What do you think would be the best solution? I would suggest giving the option for the player to pick the color of the mouse cursor so we can change it to a high contrast color in areas. Since GW has multiple areas, each ranging in colors, I think the option to change the color to what you want would be the best option.

Comments?

One option would be to press 'c' which is your hotkey for targetting the nearest monster(by default) and then press 'spacebar' which is your hotkey for "Do it"(by default).

Then you never need to know where your cursor is. And, if someone in your party is kind enough to make targets, just press 't' instead of 'c'.

I still agree with changing the cursor color though, because I can never find mine in the shiverpeaks where everything is O.O

You never need to know where your cursor is if you're not fighting enough targets that clicking something is faster than manually targeting. I can't play fullscreen mode because my mouse cursor completely disappears when my mouse is at rest. While I primarily use the keyboard in battle, I tend to use the mouse outside of battle. It makes things like looting, moving, and targeting npcs outside of town a very arduous task.

It would be nice if they had some basic graphical cursor options.

Thanks for the suggestions about keyboard use. Though it helps, the mouse cursor is still a bit of a problem for looting and other things. Hopefully Arena Net will see htis and make some simple changes. It should not be too tough to make the changes. Give us a few primary colors to pick from.

Everyone to there own style of playing experiance.. i do agree tho. a choice in the customize setup would be good to choose a mouse color we all like for ourselves.
